MSNBC Interviewing Iowa Voters: Proof Positive Why CA Needed To Move Up Its Primary

Looks like Iowans are basically a bunch of tRump-loving rubes who have drunk the kool ade and for who reality has no effect.

“I’ll probably vote for tRump because the Ds are all over the place. They have too many candidates and no clear message. tRump cares about the economy...” yep. Some asshole actually said that this morning.

Write ‘em off, Ds. We don’t need to be giving these fucks any say in who we nominate as our POTUS candidate.

Iowa Democrats pick from a slate of Democrats in their caucuses. Smearing all the Democrats in Iowa based upon one interview you saw on the TV of an Iowa Republican is not really helpful to party unity. You are comparing apples to oranges.

I saw the same interview but had a different take and wrote a post as well.

As I said, the Stephanie Ruhl reporter managed to interview low-information coffee-drinkers, one pro-Schultz and one pro-Trump, in deep blue Des Moines. Can you imagine the MSM interviewing a pro-Schultz and a pro-Trump voter in California or Oregon? I can because I've seen the media seek out people to interview who fit the story they want to tell, not what is actually happening on the ground.

We'll see more of this from the media, we always do.

I think some men think it makes them look more manly to be a Trump supporter. Living in a red state and seeing all the MAGA hats and bumper stickers on their huge trucks and then seeing a short guy with a big beer gut getting out tells me a lot. They seem to be proud of their ignorance.
